Customer Reviews

Really Good Book
This book is really, really good. Since I purchased my camera, I have struggled with all the features. The book explains things very clearly. This book is great to read, has simple explainations with very good detail, and really good examples photos and illustrations.

Canon EOS XTi 400d Camera
Wow! I am so impressed with this camera! I did quite a bit of research before making a decision, and I am pleased with my final selection. The images are stunning, and the camera itself is so user-friendly.

The only thing that I would recommend for Canon is that they revamp their included software and guides. The guides assume a certain knowledge and are not well designed; and the software includes so many extras as to reduce efficient and thorough functionality.

exactly what you would expect
I am relatively new to "real" digital photography. I had looked around at many other field guides and instructional DVDs (many of which left something to be desired). I ended up choosing this book, and it has not disappointed. It covers all of the functions of the Rebel XTi and also the photography concepts that you need to understand in order to use those functions. It's well organized, full-color pages are easy to navigate and read. The sample images they provide are very helpful because they also include the camera settings used to capture those images.
